ROSEUM ELEGANS RHODODENDRON 3gal

The Roseum Elegans Rhododendron is a timeless classic for gardeners in Zones 7 and 8 who desire a hardy, dependable shrub with a touch of old-world charm. Reaching a mature size of 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, this vigorous evergreen produces a profusion of lavender-pink, bell-shaped flowers that brighten up the spring landscape. It is particularly valued for its exceptional heat and cold tolerance compared to other varieties. Its large, leathery green leaves provide a dense year-round screen and are naturally deer resistant, making it a "plant it and forget it" favorite for busy homeowners.

For the best results, find a planting site with filtered sun or morning light and afternoon shade. To get the roots off to a strong start, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to ensure the acidic, well-drained conditions this shrub loves. Don't forget to mix in 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food during planting to provide the essential nutrients for those elegant blooms.
